I have an 811 and am fortunate that I can pick up almost 20 OTA digital channels.

Problems is that after I scan the channels and add them to my various favorites lists that all is well for a few days. By the end of the week, several channels will simply have vanished from the list as if they had never been scanned to begin with. I thus have to rescan and set up re-add them to the lists.

Presumably, over the course of many days, some channels may be too weak to pick up. Even if this is the case, why would the 811 simply drop them?

Between this and the resets cable keeps looking better.

I have a bunch that renumber after awhile and also some that completely disappear. I was the only one that I knew had this problem til now. It is very random on mine when I lose some, haven't found a reason for it though. E* said I didn't know how to operate the box.

I have one ATSC station in our area that the 811 constantly swaps the two sub-channels. If I re-scan the station, the -01 sub is 16:9 1080i and -02 is 4:3 480p. After some amount of time, it will swap these and I'll have to delete and re-add the station. This behavior started with P281 and it only affects this channel. I'm hoping that the FCC-mandated changes in PSIP data that starts Feb 1st fixes this issue.

Lose my OTA Channels Here To

I have the exact same problems....channels are dropped and re-mapped regularly without any pattern to it. I ususally rescan them about weekly to solve it.

My local ABC does this quite a but, swapping their HD sub-channel, and their ABC NewsNow Channel. The annoying part is that the local guide info stays on the -01 channel, ragardless of which of the two is actually showing there.

I also have a channel that keeps changing its own number. The main channel is 36 (WCNC-NBC-Charlotte). for the longest time it mapped to channel 6. Then, after the last update to 284, it showe correctly mapped as 36...now in the last few weeks it has an identiy-crisis routinely swapping back and forth from 36 to 22, and back.

I have found that the 811 will delete channels with no programming present. One of our local stations normally transmits weather radar on channel 5.2 (transmit channel 41), but for several days the radar was off and there was a blank screen on 5.2 (signal still showed 90%+). Everytime I would surf through OTA channels both of my 811s and my 6000u would delete both the sub-channel 5.2 and the primary channel 5.1. I solved the problem by deleting 5.2 from the channel list until the station put the programming back on. I also have a channel that frequently changes from the mapped channel 23.1 to the transmit channel 24.1. I assume the 811 is having a problem with the station's PSIP data.

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
